Potenza: Guided Mountain Walking Tour with Snowshoes – Umbria, Italy

EXPERIENCE:

Enjoy this exceptional guided walk with snowshoes through the snowy mountain regions of the Lucan Apennines National Park. Once at the top of Monte Arioso, you will be delighted by the scenic views.  

Meet your guide at the base of the chairlift in Sellata, located in the province of Potenza, near one of the most important ski areas in southern Italy. Wearing snowshoes, your guide will accompany you on the paths of the northern slope of Monte Pierfaone.

After a short climb with snowshoes or a chairlift ride, you will reach the top of Monte Pierfaone. From here, a gentle ascent with snowshoes through the beautiful beech forest will bring you to the ridge of the mountain range near Serra Giumenta.

Continue with your guide to arrive at the summit of Monte Arioso, where you can admire extraordinary scenic views of the Lucanian Apennine Mountains and the hills of Matera. On lucky days, the view sweeps out to the Tyrrhenian Sea.
